A WINDOW UNTO OUR SOUL
In his Principles of Social Reconstruction, Bertrand Russell admonishes that one can remain immured in prison or look outwardly to the World..
Is our Psyche our Prison or a Window?
Leibnitz posited our Being within the Monad, a window onto possible worlds through Divine effluxion. Leonardo envisaged the eye as a 'window unto the soul'. Aristotle described his concept of 'Entelechy', abbreviating Plato's metempsychotic journey into the Cosmic mind. A mind with a window with a view to infinity: with infinite possibility of ingress and egress.
Therefore, let us choose. How shall we view? A prison or a window..
EPLILOGUE
And perhaps the Soul exists after all..
